The End of the 2024 Tennis Season

The Nitto ATP Finals 2024 marked the end of the ATP World Tour and the close of the 2024 tennis season. It was Jannik Sinner who came out on top once again, as he beat American Taylor Fritz in straight sets to cement his position as World Number One. The Italian certainly looks poised to become a dominant force in this new era of tennis. Here at Engage we take a look back on the ATP World Finals as well as what we can expect in 2025!

The Nitto ATP Finals 2024

The ATP Finals are the final championship of the ATP Tour marking the completion of the tennis season. Since 2021, the finals have taken place in Turin, Italy and it has quickly become an iconic location. The finals are one of the highlights on the tennis calendar and the most significant behind the four majors. The finals feature the eight best players throughout the ATP season, with the finalists playing five games in total each.

Amongst those competing this year was Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev. Winners of the tournament include a whole host of great players such as Novak Djokovic, Boris Becker, Roger Federer and Pete Sampras to name a few.

Sinner capped off a remarkable year to take victory over Taylor Fritz in the final. Not only was he the first Italian to win the ATP Final, he was also the first player since 1986 to not lose a set on his road to victory, winning every match in straight sets. Sinner, who has had a remarkable year winning two Grand Slams as well, exclaimed that he ‘couldn’t have played better’ as he cemented his position as World Number 1.

Wimbledon winner Carlos Alcaraz, only managed to muster one victory as he was defeated in two group stage games against Casper Ruud and Alexander Zverev. Although he took victory at the China Open, the Spaniard’s end of season form has left room for improvement after less than impressive exits at the US Open and Cincinnati Open.

World Number 2 Alexander Zverev, looked strong in his first three games but saw defeat in the semi-final to a ruthless Taylor Fritz. Fritz beat the German 2 sets to 1 as he continued to the final. Zverev has two ATP Final wins to his name, however, no majors leaves him hungry for success in 2025.

What to expect in 2025?

After Jannik Sinner took victory in the Australian Open and US Open in 2024, to win his first major titles, as well as the ATP Finals at the weekend, can anyone stop the Italian in 2025?

Carlos Alcaraz will certainly try as he looks to defend his Wimbledon and French Open titles. The Spaniard shared the major honours with Sinner this year and there is no doubt they are set for another exciting battle once again in 2025.

World Number 2, Alexander Zverev will be keen to cause an upset amongst the two next season as he still hunts for his first major, while Taylor Fritz’s breakthrough season saw him climb the world rankings to number 4. Fritz was runner-up in the 2024 US Open to Sinner on home soil; the American will be keen to get revenge in front of his home fans in 2025.

Although not a feature in the ATP Final, Novak Djokovic will still be keen to add to his illustrious career. Arguably the greatest of all time, the 24-time Grand Slam title winner will be looking to add to his honours in 2025. For the first time since 2017, the Serbian failed to win a Grand Slam, however, he proved he still has what it takes with his Olympic Gold in Paris, and will still be in contention alongside the youngsters.

So can anyone stop Alcaraz and Sinner? It’s clear the pair plan to dominate tennis for years to come, but they’re not necessarily untouchable just yet. With Djokovic still an avid contender amongst others, the 2025 Grand Slams are all to play for!
